Quick Overview
What to expect from this issue.
Editorial
Check why here at RetroAchievements we’re playing the Infinite Game.

ALERT! The guides usually contain spoilers about the game.
Current Events
List of running events in the RetroAchievements scene.
Nerd Corner
The Nerd Corner is the place with articles covering more technical aspects of the project. Trying to bridge the gap between endusers and the crazy nerds who do the hardwork, creating the tools we use to have a lot of fun.
In this month Jamiras addresses the question “When the [CONSOLE X] will be supported on RA?”. If you got excited with the recent news about a new core for PlayStation 2 being implemented by the libretro/RetroArch team, I’m sure you’ll be interested in this article too.
HotCheevs Monthly
List of achievement sets released in the last month.
Top Players
Some statistics about the top 300 players of RetroAchievements and how they progressed over the last month.
Most Wanted Games
List of games with no achievement sets that community is excited to see. Hopefully it can encourage some achievement creators to pick a game and create a set for it.
Revisions and Rescores
Which sets got a revision or a rescore.
Art Updates
Which sets got their game icons and/or badges changed.
Fun
Mixing games with videogames and RetroAchievements. Funny stuff being created by StingX2.
Community Works

RADIY
In this issue we’re starting a new segment of the magazine, RADIY. It’s a segment where community members can share their DIY guides/recipes/whatever about some “actual” thing to do (related to retro games, of course).
For this month we have a recipe for a Teriyaki Chicken, brought by Kisumebuckets and taken from the game Shaberu! DS Oryouri Navi (Nintendo DS).
